Here is the first ever set pic from AMC's Walking Dead series. Plus go inside Frank Darabont's zombie school. Just slapping on some terrifying makeup will not cut it. All zombie extras must attend a rigorous zombie-schooling process.

This is why we're over-the-moon excited about this series: Because they are taking it seriously. Walking Dead isn't just your run-of-the-mill zombie epic. It's a soul-crushing, heart racing apocalypse that grabs the audience by the ears and forces viewers to stare into the dark black mouth of the undead. We cannot wait for October.
